Just want to know where everyone's head is at.
 
1. X-men 2

2. Blade II

3. Spider-man 2

4. Incredible Hulk

5. FF : ROTSS
 
Haven't seen Blade II...But...

...My list is the same as Major...Just without Blade...

X2: X-Men United (Good)
Spider-Man 2 (Good)
The Incredible Hulk (Okay)
Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer (Not good)

SM2 and X2 are basically tied...My mind could change any other day!
 
X2 (Great)
Blade II (Great)
Spider-Man 2 (Good)
The Incredible Hulk (Good)
4: Rise of the Silver Surfer (Sucky, sucky)
 
Alright Major...I'll make sure I check it out some time soon...:woot:
 
While I have no dislike for any of these:
1. Spider-Man 2
2. X2
3. Incredible Hulk
4. Blade II
5. FF

Should I have held out for War Zone?
 
Spider-Man 2, no doubt. Alfred Molina was way too talented and fun. X2 was okay with Brian Cox being similarly talented and fun.
 
Spider-Man 2. Easily. Without a doubt. Not even close.
 
No love for Molina? X2 was okay (wholly because of McKellen and Cox), but too much Halle Berry makes me gag.
 
Both X-Men movies? I would agree. Singer made good movies, but not great ones.

Yes, X-Men wasn't that good...I didn't like it very much...X2 I thought was much better...And I liked it...Same with Spider-Man 2...

What I meant though...Was that both X2 and Spider-Man 2 are a little overrated and flawed...Sorry for the misconception...
 
Well you can't expect greatness out of most comic-book movies, it strikes like lightning. The best you can hope for is acceptable or entertaining.
 
How come?

I kind of think X2 is overrated myself. I like it, but it isn't the great movie people say it is. It is flawed.

-Barely any Spidey one liners
-Everyone saw his face
-The romance was one notch above soap operas
-Dr. Octopus was made redeemable and had his actions based on the AI of his arms. whatever happened to mad scientists actually being mad
-Kirsten Dunst just sucks in it
-For whatever reason the visual effects of Spidey webslinging looked worse. At least in the first one they had a real guy in a suit everyonce in awhile. The third one at least had better effects
-Peter was depressing when faced with all of his rather than his trademark "Oy vey" Charlie Brown sigh

The whole movie had 2 redeemable scenes: Harry finding the Goblin Lair and Doc Ok waking in the hospital
 
1A Spiderman2
1B X2
3 Blade II
4 The Incredible Hulk
 
and I expect to put Ironman 2 on top of my list.

That's only because some of the film makers start off with zero idea of what they're adapting until they're making it, aren't suited to the franchise or they don't know how to use the concept to its potential.

The X-Men movies had great aspects, but also poor ones. If they didn't try to make a Wolclops hybrid and make Cyclops just a jerk (among other problems), they could easily have been great.

-Raimi's Spidey didn't do many one-liners, I grant you. But, I didn't miss them in 2 to be honest.

-People saw his face, but there is no way to put a name to his face.

-I thought the romance was fine.

-I didn't mind Ock's turn, as it fit the theme. However, before the turn, he was spot on.

-I thought the effects were better.

Not a fan of the Raimi series I take it then.

Its not Spidey without them

Not the point. I dont remember Spidey being so careless. He didnt even let most superhero allies get a peek early on.

-I thought the romance was fine.

I love you, I dont, I love you, I dont, and the scene with him walking down the street with his glasses back on was so stupid. And Mary threatening Pete Im sick of waiting remark. Annoying as hell.

-I didn't mind Ock's turn, as it fit the theme. However, before the turn, he was spot on.

Before the turn he was spot on which is why it was so bad to turn him in the first place. And what theme?

-I thought the effects were better.

When Spidey does simple actions but was still a special effect. All he was doing was standing in the window when ock had Aunt May and he was digital. If I wanted to play a video game I would

Not a fan of the Raimi series I take it then.

The first one was great. It cemented a good foundation than it just sucked. The third one was even worse.
